Question

The total weight of a box of 8 detergent packets of same size is 3 kg 600 grams. What is the weight of each packet?

• A. 400 grams
• B. 350 grams
• C. 420 grams
• D. 450 grams

Answer 1

The correct option is D 450 grams

Given
Number of packets = 8
Total weight of box
= 3 kg 600 grams
= (3000 + 600) grams
(Since 1 kg = 1000 grams)
= 3600 grams
Weight of each packet =$\frac{\text{Total weight of box}}{\text{Number of packets}}$
= $\frac{3600}{8}$
= $\text{450 grams}$
Hence, the weight of each packet of detergent is 450 grams.
